The scene, from The Pie and the Patty-Pan, shows Tabitha Twitchit in the doorway of her shop with Ribby and Dr Maggotty, the magpie, beyond. Mrs Twichit's shop derives from a 17th century cottage in Hawksmead, Cumbria which was once the office of Potter's husband, William Heelis, and which is now the Beatrix Potter Gallery, managed by the National Trust.
